Another one played on the 'follow the stories' assumption (why am I calling it assumptions now) (because it's like the books are based on pterry making an assumption of 'what if the world follows this rule?' then playing it out :)) so I guess it's most similar to Witches Abroad.

The elemental trying to be human thing is rather Thief of Time, in a way it ended in a similar tone, with quite some sympathy and heartbreaks at the end of the short life, which also makes the life fuller :) I felt a .. like physical stab to me heart at the must you betray me with a kiss, and the ring, and the ring-giving at the summer dance. help. uh.

Other lovely spots are a bit trivial. I do like the underworld tour, with imaginery sword and don't blink and you are your memory stuff, very DW. Then I proceeded to read the wikipedia pages of catabasis and monomyth, because it's a Thing, obvsly; I've seen Pullman, Gaiman and Pterry do it, some of them more than once. Uh I do not know classics, I should study more.

ah granny weatherwax, you manipulative arrogant bastard, love ye.
